    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for operating a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The TOF may be operated in a low power mode by repeatedly performing a low power mode sequence, which may include performing a depth frame by emitting light pulses, detecting reflected light pulses, and computing a depth map based on the detected reflected light pulses. Performing the low power mode sequence may also include performing an amplitude frame at least one time by emitting a light pulse, detecting a reflected light pulse, and computing an amplitude map based on the detected reflected light pulse. In response to determining that an activation condition is satisfied, the TOF may be switched to operate in a high accuracy mode by repeatedly performing a high accuracy mode sequence, which may include performing the depth frame multiple times.

    Abstract: A distributed, cross reality system efficiently and accurately compares location information that includes image frames. Each of the frames may be represented as a numeric descriptor that enables identification of frames with similar content. The resolution of the descriptors may vary for different computing devices in the distributed system based on degree of ambiguity in image comparisons and/or computing resources for the device. A descriptor computed for a cloud-based component operating on maps of large areas that can result in ambiguous identification of multiple image frames may use high resolution descriptors. High resolution descriptors reduce computationally intensive disambiguation processing. A portable device, which is more likely to operate on smaller maps and less likely to have the computational resources to compute a high resolution descriptor, may use a lower resolution descriptor.
